PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Shannon appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Shannon v. Garraghty, No. CA-
1323-AM (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 18, 2001; entered Sept. 19, 2001).
We deny Shannon’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
